The Principle of Pay Equity
The principles of pay equity between men and women for jobs of equal value may seem simple at first, but the challenge comes when you must compare the various functions of the different positions. Instead of referring to "equal pay for equal work", let us refer to "equal pay for different but equivalent work."
Pay equity is essentially the right of a person occupying a predominantly female position in a company to receive a salary equal to a person who holds a predominantly male position of equal value within the same company. For example, a secretary could be compared to a mechanic.
Pay equity is achieved when the salaries of both male and female employees of equal value within the same company are equivalent.
